So I’m trying to get on accutane..... and I don’t have any noticeable cysts on my face but I have had cysts before and I have 2 scars near my nose prior to cysts.... and I have a little scar on forehead but idk what from (pimple or cyst) I do have a cyst on side of neck and 3 on the back of my neck that are just bumps right now? Is that considered “cystic acne”????

Hi Matthew! I was desperate to be put on Accutane as well (mostly because my acne is cystic and is leaving marks, which is making me have low self-esteem). I am currently on Day 6 of my course. Are you in the UK or US?
I am in the US, how is your course going?

How bad was his acne?
I get a few painful pimples, I notice and can feel bumps on my face, i believe most “bumps” are causing the redness on my face, I have 4 cysts around my neck and I get a persistent cyst on my chest, I too am embarrassed and it emotionally stresses me out, it really gives me low self esteem and etc. ....

So I go to the dermatologist in 11 days finally after waiting 6 weeks for a appointment, I have had my kind set on accutane for over a month of doing research and talking to people, and I can’t wait..... it’s my first appointment at a new dermatologist but not my first dermatologist.... I am going to (idk of this is right) “insist” her/him to put me on accutane.... and I really don’t want to go home without a fight.... I’m desperate... if I insist on accutane will they put me on accutane??

it’s a bad pic but closest as I can get.... is this a blood pimple? Usually when I have these a little layer of skin is over it and if u peel it blood and pus poor out.... just wondering if Its an extra bonus for getting on accutane with this?
